Though not as full-­featured as the offering out of Redmond, the suite includes a very capable word processor and spreadsheet that are compatible with MS Office files. There’s also a presentation app, a diagramming tool, and a database. OpenOffice.org may be all the suite you need.

Audacityaudacity.sourceforge.net
This is a powerful audio editing/recording software package that doesn’t require much training.

Its features include 32-bit/96-KHz recording and editing (up to 16 channels), independent speed and pitch control, noise removal, a spectrogram mode, and tons of built-in effects. But it’s also perfect for quick ­recordings and editing long files.

GIMPwww.gimp.org
It’s not Photoshop, but GIMP is an amazingly powerful and efficient open-source bitmap-­editing package that can look just as confusing as Photoshop if you open all its floating toolbars and sidebars. You’ll need to get used to its nonstandard menus. If you make your living from graphics or photo editing, you’ll probably go commercial, but GIMP gets the job done free.

Tweak UIwww.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Microsoft’s super-tweaker tool for Windows XP is the program to install immediately after installing XP. Tweak UI fine-tunes Start Menu and Taskbar settings, helps specify which icons appear on your desktop, sets auto log-in so you can skip entering a password, and much more.
